I am one of the players that is a bit "scared" by the vastity of Tékumel lore and therefore for sure I played and enjoyed this setting less that perhaps I should have.
I just found out a website that I think is a good step by step introduction to "novices". What do you think? http://www.tekumel.com/index.html

Indeed, that is a solid website.

There's also Béthorm by Jeff Dee: http://bethorm.com/

And the website of the good friend of the Comeback Inn, Chirine Ba'Kal: http://chirinesworkbench.blogspot.com/
